The culture surrounding cars and how it has grown in the US.Henry Ford once said that he wanted to see a new car in the garage of American. His dream was realized with the creation of the first Ford Model T costing just under four hundred dollars. With the use of the assembly line, production was faster, and interchangeable parts made production and maintenance that much easier. It was his dream and self motivation that took the burden of pushing us to this point in the history of car culture. It was inevitable that with the evolution of the automobile a culture would surely follow. It started with a car powered by only 20 horsepower, but today the numbers can reach as high as 500 on a stock car, or twice that after modifications. But the major point is not the specs on cars but the culture that surrounds them. It is that we have come so far that we have a separate cable channel (speed channel) completely devoted to everything and anything cars. Cars have become an object of obsession for so many Americans ranging from the novice at age 16 to the seasoned enthusiast at age 65. Today Americans with a television can watch NASCAR drivers drive around a track at 200 mph because of a tiny camera mounted inside of the car.
